Human Catalase

• An enzyme (protein that changes the rate of chemical reactions) found in all living organisms.

• Its function is to decompose Hydrogen Peroxide (bodily toxin) into Water and Oxygen molecules:

• A protein composed of four peptide chains, over 500 Amino Acids long.• Molecular Mass (weight) of 59,800 amu.• This is what our data contains.

2 H2O2 → 2 H2O + O2
